Okay, go easy on me.  I like pretty.  

I'm looking for a source for a commode that looks like the Bambooloo (NZ), but is available in the US.  

OR... plans to make one like that of my own.  I am after something more rounded than cube-shaped.  And, if it's round, I can maybe think about mosaic tile or tadelakt on the body.

The bathroom I'm building is designed to resemble a hammam (Turkish bath).  I want that the toilet should look like it belongs.

Thanks heaps,

I'm not familiar with bambooloo so had to look them up...hmm, pretty!

It sounds like they are just a wooden (bamboo) box with a seat that you line with a compostable bag to remove with it's contents to compost elsewhere. I note that the site doesn't tend to show the box of cover material you would want to have to hand.

I like Nancy`s picture of the  BAMBOOLOO better than the one on their website:



https://www.bambooloo.co.nz/

This one looks like a toilet in a trash can.

I personally like the Cooper Pooper:

To me it is all about functionality and ease of transporting the humanure.
